All iPads Connecting mouse trackpad to iPad

[forgeyforg]

Hi everyone,

Just a couple of quick questions. I'm thinking of buying a magic trackpad for my iPad. I was wondering if you could use it by tapping without having to click? Can you also do this with the magic keyboard? (Can you use the touchpad without clicking)

Second question is I have a mouse linked up to my iPad but I cannot use some of the features since iOS 13.5. Is it possible to make all gestures go back to one single mouse button rather than having to use all the other mouse buttons?

Regard the tap/click question - yes, you can configure the Magic Trackpad 2 so that a tap is the same as a click.

Yes, tap to click works on the iPad Pro.

If you are using a mouse (non-Apple) on iPad or iPhone can you set up a mouse to do all gestures with one button like before 13.5 because now with my mouse I cannot click and drag pages on Safari etc

Under AssistiveTouch, you could program a button to be Hold and Drag.

Before 13.5 it could be done with one button

Yes, that changed.

Can I make it go back to one button this was easier for me?

I don't believe so. This came up in another thread but I couldn't track it down.
